France Hands Belgium First Loss, Advances To Finals

Kyle Walker says there is a family atmosphere within the England camp and that has played a big part in its march to the World Cup semi-finals.

Here is a look at the semi-finals and what to watch out for.

Sir Bobby, who launched the Foundation in 2008, described his charity as his "last and greatest team".

The Croatian national football team entered the semifinals of the 2018 FIFA World Cup knocking out hosts Russian Federation in the quarterfinals match on Saturday night in Sochi with the 4-3 penalty shootout win following 2-2 draw in the regular and 30-minute overtime period.

"It will be a battle again but I trust us, I have belief in us", Croatia coach Zlatko Dalic said.

Our worst fears about this World Cup have been confirmed: none of the countries left in the tournament have left-wing governments. "Now we're going to turn up in special Gareth waistcoats, it's only going to help the mood isn't it!"

France will face Belgium in the first semi-final clash at the Saint Petersburg Stadium on Tuesday after the two sides beat the South American contingents from Uruguay and Brazil respectively.

If we had to play two big teams in close succession, that's very hard.

"The results were below the level and quality of our players. But hopefully we can do our jobs on Wednesday as a team and individuals and contain them".

The coach, however, will have to wait and see if defender Sime Vrsaljko, who played in four of their five games, will be fit for the match after sustaining a knee injury.

This will subsequently leave Belgium to defeat England in the final meaning football will not be "coming home" this summer, (according to the model)!

We put tasty treats on each of the country's flags and after some unwanted interference from a feline friend, Tilly made her choice (which you can see in the video below). They have real enthusiasm for these players, not only for the way they have played but also for the way they have conducted themselves.

Having played every game so far, Croatia will have to adjust to life without Vrsaljko and it could be a situation that England takes advantage of in preparations leading up to Wednesday's game.
